Raptor (looks like a Cooper's Hawk), 5"x7", by New Hampshire wood engraver R. P. Hale.

BOTD: Lesser Roadrunner
Tumblr media
Photo: Ad Konings
"Slightly smaller version of the familiar cartoon Greater Roadrunner, but usually the two species do not occur in the same places. Favors dry brushy woodland and overgrown weedy fields in tropical lowlands and foothills. Can be very elusive, but at other times runs out in the road or sits quietly sunning itself on a fence post or bush top in the early morning. Note that the center of the throat and breast are plain rich buffy, without the dense dark streaking of Greater Roadrunner."

Happy Halloween!

Can you guess what they are?
Here are different versions of them. He originally was colored with blue eyes, but then I changed them black because juvenile roadrunners have black. They have a yellow rim around the puples as they age.

And green is his Canon colour.

#Velociraptor was effectively a roadrunner with extra knives ~ @murakel
You're right, and I bet Wile E. Coyote would have had second thoughts about going after that roadrunner

This was my first sighting where I had a shot at getting a photo, so any port in a storm, etc. etc. etc.

How might the episode in which Scully gets the alien in her spine been different if Mulder was around at the time? I love Dogget, and he's a badass. I just wonder if Mulder would have seen it coming or how he would have handled her violation differently.
Not trying to evade this question, but @ghostbustermelanieking nailed that premise completely in her fic Roadrunners. It's an all-time favorite of mine:
She groans softly as he moves her, but she leans into him, more willing than he’s ever seen her in this type of situation. One hand gripping his shirt hard, her face pressed into his neck. “Are you okay,” she mumbles, and he wants to laugh at the absurdity of it. He doesn’t remember a thing, doesn’t know if it was painful, but he knows that he never should’ve left her. He never should’ve gone alone.

Sam: I'm not Scully, you're Scully.
Dean: No, I'm Mulder. You're a red-headed woman.
